"We had a massive field of people, packed. I get up this morning, I turn on one of the networks and there's an empty field. I made a speech I looked out. It looked like a million, a million and a half people.

"We caught them, and we caught them in a beauty and they're going to pay a big price."

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer gave a press conference - his first - after the speech where he accused the press of false reporting and claimed floor coverings on National Mall made it appear that fewer people were at Trump inauguration.

He said: "This was the first time in our nation's history that floor coverings have been used to protect the grass at the Mall. This had the effect of highlighting any areas where people were not standing, while in year's past the grass eliminated this visual."

He then left the podium and refused to answer any of the reporters' questions.

His comments came after an estimated 500,000 people joined a women's march in Washington, attended by celebrities including Madonna, Scarlet Johansson and Katy Perry.
